Panel 1 (single panel):
A woman with reddish-brown hair, in a pink shirt, sits at a table across from a balding man in a red sweater. Papers are spread on the table; a small bookshelf with a vase of yellow flowers sits behind them. The man holds a Porsche keychain (a tag labeled "PORSCHE").
Woman: SWEETIE, I KNOW YOU LOVE IT, BUT WITH THE BABY ON THE WAY, I JUST DON'T THINK WE CAN AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING EVERY MONTH.
Man: I SUPPOSE I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME...
Caption (below panel): I guess I never realized what a commitment marriage was until Suzanne asked me to stop running over the neighbor's dog.
Votey:
Hand-drawn note at top: "This is what porsche keychains look like:"
Below it, a large drawing of a tag reading "PORSCHE" with a small annotation: "(I have one)".

A single-panel comic. A reddish-brown-haired woman in a pink shirt sits at a table across from a balding man in a red sweater, papers spread between them, a bookshelf with yellow flowers behind. She says, 'Sweetie, I know you love it, but with the baby on the way, I just don't think we can afford to keep paying every month.' The man, clutching a tag labeled 'PORSCHE,' replies, 'I suppose I knew this day would come...' so it reads like he's being told to give up an expensive car. The caption below subverts this: 'I guess I never realized what a commitment marriage was until Suzanne asked me to stop running over the neighbor's dog.' The 'monthly payment' was actually the recurring deed of running over the dog. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn doodle captioned 'This is what porsche keychains look like:' showing a large tag reading 'PORSCHE' with a side note '(I have one)'.
